When marriage becomes a "catastrophe": ex-Slovene warns of rising inhumane practices in the country

The article discusses concerns raised by Ninna Kozorog, a former Slovenian woman of the year and award-winning humanitarian, regarding the practice of releasing non-native butterflies at weddings in Slovenia. She highlights that these released butterflies, often exotic species like the Blue Morpho, are not adapted to local conditions and have a high mortality rate. Kozorog emphasizes that native butterfly species are more suitable for release, as they are already adapted to the local climate and ecosystem. She criticizes the commercialization of this practice by vendors who sell non-native butterflies, likening it to other forms of animal exploitation. The article calls for greater awareness and responsibility among wedding planners to ensure that such practices do not harm local wildlife.
